It's a beautiful top! Whichever way you decide to finish it will only make it more so. I have seen prize winning quilts, with both hand and machine quilting on the quilt, sell for well over a thousand dollars. I have also been to auctions where the machine quilted quilts brought a lot more than the hand quilted ones. I truly believe if the workmanship is there people don't really care if it is by hand, machine or both.
